Now for a ‘Sneak-Peak’ of Obsessed – First time revealed excerpt -
Mike noticed the
co-pilot frantically tested the flight control switches as beads of sweat
reached his brow. The pilot in desperate attempt for communication shook his
head which told Mike he’d lost all connections. Their expressions alone told
Mike they were screwed.
“What do you
think happened?”
“Is it possible
to hack into the controls Mike?”
Mike remembered
the Hack in the Box conference he attended. Hacking and hijacking planes by
pressing a few buttons on an Android mobile app would happen more so in the
movies. But this conference had delivered the worry and fear of a couple of
technologies that were massively insecure and susceptible to attacks. One being
the surveillance broadcast which sends the aircraft’s position, altitude and
such through an on-board transmitter to air traffic controllers. It also allows
aircrafts to receive flight, traffic and weather information about other
aircrafts in the air in their vicinity. The other technology that may be
susceptible is the communications reporting system. It is used to exchange
messages between the aircrafts and air traffic controllers via radio or
satellite, and automatically delivers flight phase information. Either one
could deliver malicious messages to affect the behavior of the plane if someone
knew what they were doing. The pilot’s horrific expression jolted Mike as he
heard him continue.
“We lost
everything Mike; power, control and radio. We’re descending too fast and we’re
still twenty miles outside of the airport strip. We’re in for a hard landing.
Unless you can hack in and gain control over the landing gear.”
Those two words hard-landing
made Mike think of Nikki’s message. As quickly as it entered his mind, he shook
those thoughts and focused. Mike’s computer skills had built his reputation in
the FBI. After all, it was the reason the FBI drafted him; his ‘genius-hacking
ability’. He opened his laptop and began his magic. Limited power came back
abruptly but no radio contact. They had limited control of the landing
equipment but nothing much else.
“Somebody’s
playing with the controls”
He thought of Nikki’s message again. If anyone
could hack into the plane’s coordinates, Nikki could. Mike met the love of his
life four months before at an FBI Cyber Safety seminar in Houston. Captivated
by her beauty and intrigued with her brilliant mind he fell hard and fast. Special Agent Niki Dubois worked in the FBI
L.A. office as the senior computer analyst. The FBI had tracked her and gave
her the same choice they gave Mike; join them or be arrested. She hacked into
government sites Mike hadn’t attempted. But why raced his thoughts, he didn’t
want to believe she would do this to him or his team.
The co-pilot
interrupted Mike’s thoughts, “From what I can gather there’s an open field we
can attempt to use as a runway. With limited power of the landing gear, it may
work. I’m just not sure if we enough space with our speed. We are going to hit
hard.”
The pilot turned
to Mike, “Can you hack in and get us any more control?”
Mike raced
against the little time they had. Damn she’s good Mike whispered under his
breath, but she can’t compete with me. Without taking his eyes off the laptop
he informed the pilot of his success.
“We have
complete control of the landing gear now. I’m working on control of the engine
speed.”
“We’re out of
time Mike. Make sure everyone is belted and pray.”
The pilot’s
words hit Mike with the reality they were about to crash. He rushed back to his
team.
